Calculation of leakage - GvM77 - 01-02-2025
I use the Myair app with a Resmed Airsense 11 cpap. The reports I receive via the app a summaries for the time the cpap was in use overnight.
Thus the leakage reported is typically for a 7 hour period. I understand, for a point in time, Airsense 11 calculates leakage as the flow produced minus a fixed amount depending on mask type.
But if, for example, the app reports leakage for the seven hour period of 8 l/minute, how is 8 calculated? Is it the average of readings taken over 30 minute periods, hourly periods, minute by minute or what?
TIA .... Greg
